Stock fencers- what order do you strain up?
fastracdude replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in Landscaping
I know exactly what you mean about laying barbed wire out for setting up post lines,do it myself unless its FC spec which always has a bottom line wire in place. Be careful when straining HT wire in the cold weather,it can become brittle and snap very easily..As for strut or Box strainer it depends on the ground and on the wire for me....Should be have a few pics of from everyone??? Maybe a new thread....."Show us your Fencing" -

Always tighten your netting first, then you know the distance above for your top wires, plus tightening the top wires first can get in the way of tensioning the netting below....Have you tried doing box strainers?? they take up tension better on high tensile and look neater than struts too.....I have always used boundary strainers with 6 metre chains attached to do all my netting...plenty of movement for pulling up at least 300 metres of netting at one pull.... -
